Pos Availability

given the fact a person can do level 4 missions a couple of hours per day and dedicate a couple of days and pay for the fuel for a small POS I wonder if it would be a good idea to make POS more available to corps ? Right now you need a ridiculous amount of standings (corp wise standing, not single person) to make it more available in low and high sec.

Right now, pos anchoring works with the average standings on the corp with the faction you want to anchor your pos in. For a single person, this can be fixed in a couple of months or so. For a whole corp, well it works on average so play with the numbers... in other words its nearly impossible because everyone has to work with their standings (only missions offer standings afaik).

I don't know how exactly how the mechanics should work but I think if a small corp or relatively small corp can easily take care of a small POS then I think it's normal if it's available in high sec. besides, manufacture, research, bpo copying and all those slots are taking so making it available in a pos for a corp would be a good thing if you ask me.

I can't think of a bad side to this idea besides the fact that empire space might have way more POS in moons but i don't consider that a bad thing.

Let me point out this is a pre-emptive measure in the long run regarding the availability of items, modules and all about the market. I don't need to go in the details about the market, prices, demands and offers but if more "slots" are available more items will be available on the market.

There are to many abandoned POS's around for me to support making it even easier to establish them in HiSec.

There's no mechanic that addresses abandoned POS's. In fact, there are a LOT of problematic issues regarding POS's in general. They need to be addressed first.

POS are very annoying to remove, especially in highsec, even if they are offline.

The are also very annoying to get setup, especially in highsec, where you need very high corp standings.

Both of these mechanics need a review...

Exactly....and I'm sure the WHS Dwellers would chime in with this sentiment as well.

If a POS was any easier to set up in high sec I wonder how many moons would be left free. I am not sure making them easier to set up would actually make them easier to set unless you are one of the first xx00 through the door. There are already plenty of systems with (often abandoned) POS's on most or all of their moons, at least from my experience trying to find one for another corp.

On the other hand it would almost give high sec war a purpose, fighting over moons.
